PENTECOST

Genesis 26:22 (KJV)
"And he removed from thence, and digged another well; and for that they strove not: and he called the name of it Rehoboth; and he said, For now the LORD hath made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land."
Pentecost means “fiftieth.” Pentecost is fifty days from Passover; a celebration of the “first fruits of the grain.” Seven Sunday’s from the day Jesus gave His life, the seed of eternal life planted into the earth ; “…Except a corn of
wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit” (John 12:24).
It is not just that the Spirit filled us; it is that the seed of life was planted. The Spirit filled us to celebrate that life; God has made room for us, and we shall fruitful in the land. He is “Emanuel – God with us;” He refused to leave us alone or to be alone; He chose to be planted in the earth that we may multiply all He has given. Jesus came to heal all our aloneness issues, this is Pentecostal, this is Pentecost, Him with us and us with Him can bear much fruit. Be filled with His Spirit and celebrate the "first fruits." (Romans 8:23)
